Well it has been a while since my last figure review, but I'm back with another one. This time of a much much older figure, Queen's Blade Nanael Excellent Model, 1/8 Scale, from MegaHouse.  Released way back in 2008, Nanael and many other figures in the line can be easily found in Amiami's pre-owned section for bargain-bin prices, and maybe understandably so. They're a bit simplistic by modern standards, but that doesn't mean there isn't still a lot of enjoyment to be had from displaying these older figures. In the Queen's Blade OVA Nanael's job is to observe fights for contenders in the Queen's Blade tournament or something like that. It's not a great show even for the copious amounts of fan service, but it does have  a lot of really cool character designs and of course all their clothing gets shredded off whenever they fight so it's worth checking out if you're into the fantasy genre and can put up with a shallow plot

Well it's been a while since my last post but I'm still here and still excited about figures. Things have just been very busy between holidays and lots of travel and work, but I'm hoping to get back to figure reviews soon. Until then, I'm sure if you're on this site you're aware that Winter Wonder Festival has just happened in Japan and tons of new figures have been previewed! So many, in fact, that it would jsut be way too much work to go through all the ones I'm excited about here. To keep things brief, I've decided to narrow it down to the 5 that I'm most excited about. On top of that, I'm sticking to figures that are at least sculpted, although there are TONS that have just concept art right now that I'm excited for as well. 5)  Good Smile Company - Pyra and Mythra - Re-release Big news from the show that Pyra and Mythra (aka.
